Findon Rest

The location of the property is excellent and the village is lovely. When we contacted the owner she was very helpful and came next day to sort out some of the things we had complained about. There was a kettle and some lovely hot chocolate drink, as well as tea bags, milk and bottles of water. The mattress was good and overall the room seemed fine but it was the small things which let it down.

The reason I have given a lowish score for comfort was that the room we booked, room 1 on the lower ground floor, had a very low ceiling with steps placed in such a way (up to the bed area)that my husband banged his head at least 6 times on the edge when going down to the bathroom in the dark. To get a single bed in the room they had put the double bed up against the wall so that I had to climb over my husband to get out of bed, rather inconvenient. There was no bedside light on my side of the bed. On the list of facilities it mentions that the room has a fridge, so we brought with us a few things to keep in it. Unfortunately when we arrived there was no fridge, though the owner provided one next morning. The TV was not tuned correctly so we were unable to find the channels we wanted and there were no instructions on how to reach the online tv channels. I expected that the bin would be emptied and the tea/coffee/chocolate drink sachets refilled while we were out but they weren't. This was disappointing. The room description really should mention how low the ceiling is so that anyone tall is aware before they book.
